T0 all lwhom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER C. YUDEL-` soN, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements `in Hood-Caps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description of the same, reference-being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numbers of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in articles of apparel for'head wear and has for its object a construction affording interchangeablyan ornamental cap or hood, so constructed as to entirely inclosethe head and neck of the wearer and to afford a chest protector as well.

It is also an object of the invention to afford a construction in which a normally concealed mullier, is adapted for use at any time to protect the neck and chest of the wearer, andv also to secure in place a face mask forming a part of the invention.

The invention consists in the matters hereinafter described and more fully pointed out and defined in the appended claims.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device embodying my invention, showing the same used as a cap with the muflier concealed. Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing the device in use as a protector and with the muiler aprons in place and securing the face mask in position.v Fig. 3 is a View in rear elevation with the mutller aprons turned down. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 1.

As shown in the drawings: l, indicates the crown portion of the cap, which may be of knitted or crocheted material or may be of material or fabric of any kind. Secured around the front of the cap at the bottom and extending from, and terminating at a point approximately above the ears of the wearer, is the face mask or face protector 2, having a y 3, for the mouth and corresponding openings, vone for eadh eye, either in the front portion of the crown of the cap or near the junction of the mask with the crown, as indicated by 4. As shown, one or more buttons 5, are provided on the crown of the cap in position to engage the mask thereto when turned upwardly, as shown in Fig. 1, in which position 4it affords a part slot or opening therethrough indiof the ornamental roll around the bottom the cap.

Connected around the back part of the cap and at the bottom thereof, and extending forwardly to the ends of theroll alforded by the face mask, is the back roll 6, which may be termed a hood roll. Integrally Hor otherwise connected with the front end of the hood roll and its free margin, are muffler aprons 7, one at each end of said hood roll and of a length when turned downwardly to extend over the neck and upon the chest, as shown in Fig. 2. A transverse slot or aperture 8, is provided in the crown of the cap above each end of the hood yroll and adapted to receive the mutller apron therethrough, as shown in Figs. l, 3 and 4, land as shown, a glove fastener comprising a male and female section 9 and 10, are provided `on .each side of the slot adapted to clo-se the same by mutual engagement when the mutller aprons are withdrawn. As shown, a button 1l, is provided on one of the muier aprons to engage the other thereto beneath the chin.

The operation is as follows: When in use as a cap, as shown in Fig. l, the muttler aprons are turned inwardly and secured in the crown `of the cap, as shown in Fig. 4, by

insertion through the slots on each side of l the cap. When so used, the hood roll and face mask form substantially a continuous roll around the bottom ot' the cap and aford a pleasing appearance. Should it be desired to use the face mask, it may be quickly released from its buttons and turned downwardly over the face independently of the muffler aprons or hood rolls, or, of course, the hood roll and muler aprons may be used in their characteristic manner without reference to the use or non-use of the face mask. When, however, all are used conjointly, the face mask is first turned down over the face and properly positioned with reference to the eyes and mouth, as shown in Fig. 2, the hood roll is then turned downwardly over the back of the head and neck and the muffler aprons broughtforwardly to confine the mask to the face and` are engaged beneath the chin by means of the button 11, thus wholly inclosing the head and neck of the wearer except for the eyes and the mouth and also at the same time etticiently protecting the chest.

While I have shown a knitted or crocheted rial may be used and features of construction may be modified without departing side and above the bottom edge of the cap:

into the crown thereof.

2. A cap., two' separate protectors secured thereon, 'one aface protector ormask at the front vand adapted to turn downwardly over I. the face, the other a hood roll around the back of the cap, muffler aprons attached to the ends thereof and acting to support the hood roll when rolled upwardly, said muffler aprons extending through apertures on each side and above the bottom edge of the cap into the crown thereof, and ymeans closing said side apertures in the cap.

3. A cap body having an opening or slot in each side and above the bottom edge thereof, a muier apron or tab attached on each side of the cap to protect the neck and chest and when not in use inserted through said apertures on each side the cap into the crown thereof and concealed from view.

4. A cap body having an aperture in each Iside and above the edge thereof, two sepa-l rate protectors on said cap body, one, a face protect-or or mask secured thereon at the front and turned downwardly over the face, the other a hood roll secured around the back of the cap body, mufiier aprons attached to the cap and extending inwardly through the sides of the cap body to sup port the hood roll when rolled upwardly, and buttons to close the side apertures i the said body.

5. A cap, a face protector secured thereon having a lurality of separate apertures therein andp adapted to turn down over the face, a hood roll adapted to cover the back of the head, and muffler tabs secured on the cap and adapted to extend down around the face and cover the chest.

6. A cap, a plurality of protectors secured thereon, one having a plurality of separat-e apertures therein and folded on the front of said cap, the other folded on the back of said cap, mutiier tabs, said cap having apertures above the folding line adapted to receive theends of said tabs therethrough.

7. A cap having apertures therein, a face `protector having apertures therein folded thereon, a second protector'secured around the back of the cap, muiiier tabs secured on said second protector and said cap, the ends thereof adapted to be drawn through said apertures in the cap.

8. A cap having apertures therein, a face protector having a plurality of separate apertures therein and folded around the front of said cap, a hood folded around the back of the cap, muffler tabs secured to said hood and said cap adapted to be folded within said cap through the apertures thereof.

In testimony' whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
